Finding our Way Into the Sun of Consciousness with Dwayne Edward Rourke
Embracing the Lightning Path Cosmology (2024)
by Dwayne Edward Rourke & chatGPT
Introduction
The Lightning Path cosmology stems from a profound spiritual experience I had at age 21. It offers a framework for understanding life as an interconnected journey. This philosophy weaves together Indigenous wisdom, modern science, and personal development, all unified by the foundational quantum principle of action, as articulated by Arthur M. Young. The Lightning Path encourages us to explore cosmic rhythms and align our lives with these universal forces.
Mathematics of the Lightning Path Journey
Central to this cosmology is the number 21, symbolizing the years it takes to traverse the entire Mayan Tzolkin calendar—260 lunar cycles—aligning with one-quarter of Uranus’ orbit around the Sun. This synchronicity between the Moon, the Tzolkin, and Uranus reveals a cosmic dance, highlighting the profound interconnectedness of celestial rhythms, and how they influence our potential for transformation, growth, and spiritual awakening.
The Holistic Worldview of the Lightning Path
At the core of this path lies the interconnectedness of all life, nature, and the cosmos. It emphasizes self-discovery, empowerment, and personal responsibility. Through practices such as journaling, meditation, and mindfulness, individuals deepen their awareness of their role in the larger cosmic plan. Community plays a pivotal role in shared spiritual growth, as seen in the guidance and inspiration from like-minded explorers like John Major Jenkins, whose work on Maya Cosmogenesis 2012 parallels the Lightning Path's themes of spiritual renewal.
Cosmogenesis and the Alignment Generation
John Major Jenkins posited that the ancient Maya anticipated the galactic alignment of 2012, marking the end of a 5,125-year cycle. This alignment wasn’t apocalyptic but represented a rebirth of consciousness, offering humanity a chance to evolve spiritually. Jenkins coined the term alignment generation for those living during this period (1994-2030), calling them to participate in the unfolding of a new era. The Lightning Path aligns with this vision, urging us to seize this cosmic opportunity for personal and collective transformation.
Exploration and Exploitation: A Balance of Growth
Inspired by John C. Lilly’s work, the Lightning Path emphasizes a balance between exploration (the quest for the unknown) and exploitation (mastery of the known). Exploration fuels personal and spiritual growth, while exploitation refines what we’ve learned. Achieving this balance is crucial for an evolving consciousness that values both discovery and mastery.
The Spiritual Monad
The concept of the spiritual monad—our divine essence—forms the heart of the Lightning Path. This monad descends into the material world to learn and grow, before returning to its divine source. Influenced by Arthur Young’s arc of consciousness, the portrays life as a journey of descent into matter, followed by an ascent toward spiritual liberation. This evolutionary arc presents a pivotal moment—the “Turn”—where the monad can break free from the material constraints, leading to spiritual awakening.
The Reflexive Universe and the Arc of Consciousness
Young's arc of consciousness complements the Lightning Path's cosmology, emphasizing a turning point where the monad begins its ascent, breaking free from the gravitational pull of material existence (symbolized by DNA). This moment mirrors my personal turning point at age 21, sparking a lifelong spiritual journey. I have shared this experience with a community of explorers through keynote presentations on New and Full Moons, archived on YouTube, BitChute, and Rumble, to inspire others in their own path of spiritual awakening.
Conclusion
The Lightning Path is a philosophical and spiritual cosmology that invites individuals to recognize their role in the cosmic journey. It integrates diverse influences—from the Mayan Tzolkin to John C. Lilly’s consciousness research and Arthur Young’s evolutionary arc—guiding individuals toward self-discovery, personal responsibility, and spiritual liberation. Through this path, we embrace our place within the larger cosmic drama, contributing to the spiritual evolution of humanity and the universe.
